I’m not banned on reddit, never have been. I use both daily. Lemmy to see what my fellow humans are talking about, Reddit for when I want to see what bots are talking about.
They gave me a tempory ban for bull crap so i deleted my 10+ year old account and moved here
I’ve never had a Reddit account so I guess that I’ve never been banned, technically.
I prefer this community.
Mix of both.
I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises “looked nasty”.
But I can still access all of reddit. I just can’t comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there’s eleventy billion versions of the same community.
Who tf would defend FGM, are they Muslim? I’m pretty sure only Muslims do that see degenerate shit, Egypt (a Muslim country) has 95%, and their excuse for doing objectively harmful is so weird, they say it is so women don’t enjoy sex and don’t seek it 😭
Deleted my account when they killed 3rd party apps. Fuck that shithole.
Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.

My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I’m in my late 10s, I’d rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.
I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes
I also left during that period. Third party apps were and are a lot better. Fuck spez.
Same. Rip rif. Never logged back in. Man I miss grimdank though. O well.
The spez protests led to a lot of people sharing alternatives on Reddit and when I heard there was an open source alternative, checked it out and saw posts about Linux and beans I knew I’d never go back.
Lemmy has a variety of fresh opinions, and I like how everyone has different experiences. For example, I hardly see a unified opinion on what people think of Gen-Xers, Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They seem well-distributed and for the most part, there’s less of those subtle reddit-style “generalizations” here. I typically look for internet spaces that emulate reality, and I think Lemmy does that well.
I knew about Lemmy, but didn’t migrate until months after drama in Reddit.
I got permabanned from the CasualUK sub for insulting boomers. In a response to the query of the word being a slur, as one person on Twitter felt picked on, I said the ones that act like the stereotype (aka self-absorbed, demeaning others) deserve the nickname the stereotype was given. I was banned for ‘identity-based hate’ despite the fact that being an asshole to anyone younger than you is not an identity.
I also got banned from GirlGamers for questioning the authorities, which made me realise that some mods really are pricks who rule the subs by removing people that they don’t agree with, and I decided that I didn’t want to reside in a site where moderators are borderline fascist, no matter how wholesome the other users are.
Someone asked if it’s worth avoiding media because you don’t agree with the creator. I voiced my opinion, saying that I don’t think so, as long as the media makes you happy. I referred to a few examples, including “my love for the Wizarding World, despite its creator being rather toxic”. This got removed for ‘mentioning Hogwarts Legacy’, VERY loosely tying my comment with a sub rule. I reposted the comment twice, once omitting the Wizarding World, and once a copy of the original, adding “(not the game, the whole franchise, power tripping mods!)” which resulted in a three day ban. (For those who don’t know, the Wizarding World means the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This is a very large media franchise spanning a significant more mediums than one game. There are seven more games, in fact). I contacted the mod team, and they said I cannot question them, permabanned me from GirlGamers, and blocked me for thirty days, as if that wins the disagreement.
This kind of leadership, and the controversy over Reddit becoming a walled garden of censorship and run like a corporate cash cow, ended my support. I deleted my account and cut ties emotionally with the communities there.
